Causal Inferences in Nonexperimental Research
Taking an exploratory rather than a dogmatic approach to the problem, this book pulls together materials bearing on casual inference that are widely scattered in the philosophic...
Demographic and Epidemiologic Drivers of Global Cardiovascular Mortality
The aging and growth of the population resulted in an increase in global cardiovascular deaths between 1990 and 2013, despite a decrease in age-specific death rates in most regi...
NCBI GEO: archive for functional genomics data sets--10 years on
A decade ago, the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was established at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The original objective of GEO was to serve ...
NCBI GEO: archive for high-throughput functional genomic data
The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is the largest public repository for high-throughput gene expression data. Addition...
Charge Transfer on the Nanoscale: Current Status
This is the report of a DOE-sponsored workshop organized to discuss the status of our understanding of charge-transfer processes on the nanoscale and to identify research and ot...
Rationale and Standards for the Systematic Review of Qualitative Literature in Health Services Research
Despite growing recognition of the need for qualitative methods in health services research, there have been few attempts to define quality standards for assessing the results. ...
The Surviving Sepsis Campaign: Results of an international guideline-based performance improvement program targeting severe sepsis*
The Campaign was associated with sustained, continuous quality improvement in sepsis care. Although not necessarily cause and effect, a reduction in reported hospital mortality ...
Is object localization for free? - Weakly-supervised learning with convolutional neural networks
Successful methods for visual object recognition typically rely on training datasets containing lots of richly annotated images. Detailed image annotation, e.g. by object boundi...
GEPOL: An improved description of molecular surfaces. III. A new algorithm for the computation of a solvent‐excluding surface
Abstract To understand and calculate the interactions of a solute with a solvent, a good method of computing the molecular surface is needed. Three kinds of surfaces may be used...
Unpublished rating scales: A major source of bias in randomised controlled trials of treatments for schizophrenia
Background A recent review suggested an association between using unpublished scales in clinical trials and finding significant results. Aims To determine whether such an associ...
